Re: The
Almighty and Omni-

: : This came up while
chatting the other evening. God (Who's tended to have *excellent* PR representation
throughout the ages) is allegedly all-powerful (omnipotent), all-knowing (omniscient),
all over the place (omnipresent) and all-seeing (omni...erm)

: : Can anyone
fill in the blank with a Latin-derived omni- construct? I toyed in desperation
with omnivideant, but don't believe it exists.

: No, but it almost does. OED
has a section on "omni-" compounds, including these:
: Omnipercipient, perceiving
all things.
: Omnispective, looking into or beholding all things.
: Omnividence,
the capacity of seeing all things.
: Omnividency, a seeing of all things; 'universal
inspection'.
: Omnivision, the action or faculty of seeing all things; omnividence.

Thank
you... from that one can happily deduce "omnivident", which I really should have
had a better stab at.
